Leadership in American Academic Geography: The Twentieth Century
examines the practice of leadership in the most influential
geography departments in the United States. Throughout the
twentieth century, transformational leaders often emerged as
inspirational department chairs, shaping the content and nature of
the discipline and establishing models of leadership, often fueling
the success of programs and sparking shifts in paradigms. Yet, on
occasion, departmental chairmanships fell to individuals marked by
laissez faire attributes, lapses in integrity, or autocratic
behaviors, which at times led to disaster. Effective leaders within
key academic departments played imperative roles in the
discipline's prosperity, and in contrast, mediocrity in leadership
contributed to periods of austerity. Michael S. DeVivo aims to
offer not only a historical perspective on the geographic
discipline, but also insight to leaders in geography, today and in
the future, so that they might be able to avoid failure and instead
develop strategies for success by recognizing effective leadership
behaviors that foster high levels of achievement.
